Midair by Frank Conroy
The title story in this collection narrates the lifelong effects on a son of the trauma experienced when his psychotic father threatens to drop him from a fifth-floor window. A common thread running through the eight stories is a man's growing awareness of the world around him.Frank Conroy was born in 1936 and received his bachelor's degree in 1958 from Haverford College. He is currently the director of the famed Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa, where he teaches. Stop-Time, Conroy's autobiography, was published in 1967, and Midair, his collection of short stories, was published in 1985. The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Harper's Magazine, and Partisan Review have all published his writing. He spends time in both Iowa City and Nantucket.
